A 216 is a sludge producing factory from the day it was new until it dies of old age. Anyone who has ever pulled the oil pan on one can attest to the stench of that crud. It can't be warshed off your hands. DG has 11,966 on his rebuild. He is bound to have some deposits in the engine, and since the rocker arm cover is open to the outside via the slots on top, the volatile perfume will surely rise and fill the nostrils of the happy joy-filled occupants.
